Instructions for Regional Brain Bee Organizers:
Editing your own Local Brain Bee page
Each regional Brain Bee has a web page associated with the main CCNBB web site. This mini-page allows you to introduce your local brain bee on the CCNBB site. Regional organizers can use this web page in any way you like. You can provide a link to your own web page, or use it to provide necessary information if you don't have your own web page. You can announce dates and winners and media reports, for example. You will need a username (which is the name of your city) and password (which has been sent to you by email; there is also a way to request a password reminder).
Steps to edit your page (it is a pretty good editing GUI):
1. Go to the CCNBB web site http://brainbee.ca. You will see the links to the individual Local Bees in the left panel.
2. Login with the "Organizer Login" box at the bottom of the left panel of the web page.
This is where you login to edit your own local page.
Your username is the name of your city and the password was sent in separate email.
There is a way to request a password reminder provided under the login box.
3. Navigate to Local Bees and click on your page
4. Click the edit icon on your page.
(the edit icon can be hard to see -- it is a tiny thing that looks like a pencil and paper just to the right of the title at the top of the page)
5. A GUI editing window should open up for you. Change whatever you want, add links, whatever...
Obviously, you can change, delete the content that is there now.
6. Save occasionally so you don't lose work if page times out.
This happened to me once! It is not a happy experience to lose your work!
To easily save while staying within the editing window, click on the Apply button (white checkmark on blue background) at the top right.
This button might also be on the bottom of the page.
7. When you are done, click on the Save button (picture of an old-fashioned floppy disk) at the top right
This will save and exit the editor.
This icon may be down at the bottom of the page.
8. Check and make sure that your edits look good!
For example, if you upload an image, make sure it is sized correctly so that it doesn't overflow the edges of the page.
9. Have fun!
